Michael Myers Game Mode?

Post by Clutch »

I'm going to be buying a server soon, and I was thinking of making a game type called Michael myers, where one person is Michael, you have to find the other players hidden in the map, and the other players have to hide and run away if they're spotted. The ones hiding have a bit of a tail length, but not enough to trap Michael. Michael Myers has a tail. The maps would change every time. The maps would be quite big and with multiple paths to go down, and a few secret spaces to go into. The brake button would be a small boost, and only for michael (If i can do that) so he can hunt them down so they dont just go in a big square so he can't get them. Maybe Michael get's shooting as well?

Does this sound possible? If it is, any ideas you guys have to add on?

It's possible, except that everyone has to have the same tail lengths, and there isn't a way to enforce the game rules you want. At least, no way to automatically enforce them.

Or, just do it in another game like BZ Flag or some FPS.

It wouldn't work the way you imagine anyway. If the victims' trails are too short to trap, they're also too short to get killed.

The MM should either have the ability to shoot or have a constant zombie completely on his tron bike. With no tails likely

also, isn't there a map in 0.3? So wouldn't that make the finding a lot easier? I like the idea though, there are just some things you might have to alter to get it to work the way you want

A big enough zombie on mike's tail should work.

The server can disable it. Anti-cheating might be hard though.
